“I went to Nashville in the early ’70s and was trying to be an artist, but it just didn’t work out for me. Then I moved to Wyoming in ’77. In 1988, my wife and I were sitting at a truck stop one night. I was humming a song I wrote called ‘In the Wings of the Grand Ole Opry’ and my wife asked me what I would do to sing on the Grand Ole Opry. I told her ‘I’d walk to Nashville if I could sing on the Opry’, and she said, ‘what a great idea!’ So, I did that. It was a 1600+ mile walk. I had no contact with the Opry at all. My whole deal was that I was going to walk there and ask them if I could play.”
